Designed by Marcel Wanders for Cappellini, Big Shadow is a floor lamp that casts a diffused light, available in various sizes and heights. The design of Big Shadow faithfully reflects the designer’s vision: a fusion of innovative materials and techniques with traditional styles and archetypes. The inspiration for these lamps comes from classic table lamps with lampshades, reimagined here with a contemporary twist, with the fabric covering not only the upper part of the lamp but also the base, to create a warm and cosy light source. Produced by Cappellini, the Big Shadow floor lamp features a chrome-plated metal rod structure with a lampshade in white polyamide and viscose.
